A crisp, sunny mountain morning set the stage for today’s Banff National Park Bike Fest IMPACT Magazine Individual Time Trial. The 184-person field included Category 5 to Category 3/2 riders, plus the invited men and women’s categories.

General Classification shows Jaime Sparling still owns the yellow jersey for the men leading into tonight’s Fulcrum Criterium on Banff Avenue in downtown Banff. Teammate Rob Britton is just 28 seconds down. On the strength of her win this morning, Julie Beveridge takes the yellow into tonight’s criterium for the women, with Gillian Carleton just 46 seconds back.

Tomorrow morning will feature both invited men’s and women’s teams battling in the Tunnel Mountain Road Race. The women will tackle 52 kilometres, the men will go 117 kilometres.
